I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Consumer banking is still living in the 80s. You should be able to access the entire history of a single transaction in your account. The machines it routed through, the services that handled each part of the transaction, the fees at each step.

We need something like decentralized auth for agents. Drop your agents and content sources into an auth group and everyone starts talking. Having to auth every agent + content source with each other is a spiderweb of permissions hell.

Site monitoring and optimization is critical for commercial web apps right now. If Meta takes interest in your app, you can see massive usage spikes for sustained periods. Any small inefficiency will amplify and balloon your cost.

"You ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up? You know that feeling that the whole country is like, one inch away from saying, "That's it! Forget it!". I mean, think about it. Everything's polluted. The environment, the government, the schools, you name it."

Disable JavaScript and reload your site. Blank page? That’s what AI agents see. If your data isn't in the initial HTML, it might as well not exist. SSR and structured content are the new baseline for being found.

If you see your job as pure coding, the future looks rough. You need to start thinking of your role as creating value. Whether you write code or AI does, the goal was always to create a product. Being a "human compiler" used to be a viable career path. Those days are moving rapidly away from us.

AI tooling is in a rapid expansion phase... more new tools/methods/approaches every day then we can possibly keep up with. Eventually, we will have a collapse phase, where we have eliminated most of the worst ideas/options and gather around some solid solutions.
